Of all the phobias out there, trypanophobia is one of the most relatable. Closely related to aichmophobes, trypanophobes are afraid of what?

Trypanophobes are afraid of needle pricks. The word trypano is the Greek word meaning auger, which is a device used to drill holes. It's a fairly common phobia for obvious reasons. Who's not afraid of needles on some level?
